Transcript:
Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer! And Vixen. On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donder and Blitzen!
Give it a rest! You're just taking the garbage to the end of the driveway.
Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you for spelling Donder correctly in your comics strip. I absolutely go nuts when I continuously see it spelled “Donner” time and time again. Donner was the name of a group of pioneers who got caught in a blizzard in the Rocky Mountains and ate each other….”The Donner Party.” Donder is German (or Dutch) for Thunder and Blitzen means lightning; hence, they go together. I cannot thank you enough for advancing the cause of the correct spelling of “DONDER” the reindeer. You are my hero!!!!!

Either works but Donder would be how it was written. Donder and Blitzen are Dutch for thunder and lightning.

@jtpozenel, @Roto13 Re: Donder vs. Donner
I can’t say that it’s all that big of a deal to me, but I can understand how it’s somebody else’s pet peeve.
You just never know what’s going to really drive someone else totally batty.
